[PHP] Re: die! die! directory!
Phil, Thanks for the suggestion. I tried it and it worked the first time, but as I changed to a second directory ./maps2/ it fell apart again. Also, what I didn't state at the start, was that map1.jpg is actually a variable, $map. It's just that when I was pounding on it, I settled on using hard names instead of variables figuring that I was at least limiting the source for error. The problem is the same though, it seems to work then dies. Not my machine either, I ftp the file to olm and see the results on line. Thanks for your help. If you have any other suggestions, please let me know.

Re: [PHP] Re: die! die! directory!
ok, I'll buy that, but. Now, in a strictly php page that is also failing intermittently I have the following: $im_size = GetImageSize(./maps/$map); Same basic HTML problem? I'll change everything to be relative to http:// and see if that helps. - Original Message - From: Larry Jeannette [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: 'hugh danaher' [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, February 08, 2002 7:49 PM Subject: RE: [PHP] Re: die! die! directory! This is a standard HTML question, not a PHP question. If you do not include http:// or a / in front of the src value then it is taken as relative to the documents directory - ie: if the document is at the location http://www.someplace.com/somedir and src=map1.jpg then the browswer will look for the image at http://www.someplace.com/somedir/map1.jpg, if src=/map1.jpg then the browser will look for it http://www.someplace.com/map1.jpg (the / tells it to start from the web sites root, or top level, directory).

Thanks Jason, I'll give it a try too.

Re: [PHP] Re: die! die! directory!
ok, I changed all the paths to include: ( http://www.host.com/directory/sub-directory ) before the /maps2/map1.jpg call. It still falls apart, but... if I shorten the path I can get to the image. I am beginning to think there is a weakness in the file structure on my site. Anyone else see anything like this?
